Flat Cat: The Class Pet

40 pp. | Penguin/Flamingo | June, 2025 | Trade ISBN 9780593404607 $18.99
(3) K-3 Illustrated by Pete Oswald. Flat Cat, born delightfully flat, enjoys his sleek life -- until a whirlwind school day changes everything. Rollicking through classrooms, he’s folded, passed, and nearly trashed before becoming an unexpected hero. With scanned gouache textures painted digitally in Photoshop, the pastel-colored, cartoony illustrations add playful energy to each page. This offbeat tale celebrates self-discovery, friendship, and the joy of being seen, proving even the flattest cat can make a big impression. “Smooth moves, Flat Cat!”
Reviewer: Summer Edward
